A dog who used to be chained up at a factory in Singapore needs a new home by the end of this month.
The pooch was found apparently malnourished and allegedly abandoned by her regular caregiver.

If no one can take her, she might end up in a shelter.
The plight of Lara, a six-year-old female, was highlighted by Chained Dog Awareness in Singapore (CDAS) in a Facebook post on Monday (19 Feb).
The animal welfare group said she was found hiding behind a large industrial compressor in a factory.
Staff there claimed that she had been abandoned by her regular caregiver, who resigned from the company.
When Lara was rescued, she appeared to be malnourished, CDAS said.
There was also a makeshift chain harness around her body.

This led the group to conclude that she had been kept on a chain.
Little else is known about her, CDAS added.
What CDAS does know, though, is that Lara is sweet and gentle.
However, she lacks socialisation and exposure, having been chained in a factory.
She also does not get along well with other dogs.
Thus, whoever fosters or adopts Lara must have patience and empathy, CDAS said.
Though she’s HDB-approved, she may not be used to a home environment and needs help to adapt to the transition.

The new caregiver should also not have other dogs or young children.
The search for a fosterer or adopter for Lara is urgent, as she has nowhere to go by the end of February, CDAS said.
If nobody is found, she might end up in a shelter, which is “not ideal”, the group added.
Potential caregivers may contact CDAS via its Facebook page or email.
Those who can’t take care of her but want to help can also share its Facebook post.
